I'm curious why workstation video cards by both NVidia (e.g., PNY Quadro FX 5800 SDI 4GB 512-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 NVIDIA SLI Supported Workstation Video Card -$5,900) and ATI (e.g., ATI FireGL V7350 1GB 512bit GDDR3 PCI-Express x16 Workstation Video Card -$1,500) are so expensive!!! The specs are pretty much the same as video cards that PC gamers use, so why the large $$$$ disparity?
